My dh is worrying the stew out of me about these seeds and I can't find them anywhere!!
I tried rooting pieces...but, I am not a good rooting mommy!! The trial failed!!
Please help me!!
WANTED: Muscadine or Scuppernong Seeds
According to PlantFiles here:
Propagation Methods:
From softwood cuttings
By grafting
By budding
By simple layering
Seed Collecting:
N/A: plant does not set seed, flowers are sterile, or plants will not come true from seed.
So ..... looks like softwood cuttings, grafting, budding, or layering are your only means to get new plants. (So sorry.)
Thanks!!! I didn't even check to see!!
dbib,
Do you have a vine or access to one? You can take a long runner that will touch the ground, break it part of the way (not so much so that it wilts), place it on the ground, put a little soil over the break and a small flat stone to hold it in place. Hardwood works better than greenwood. Wait 3-4 months and you should have a rooted plant. I have done it that way many times. Works for almost all woody plants and it's not much work.
I don't have access to any vines. My son had found a vine and brought some peices home & I tried to root those. They had been in water since about October or November last year and hadn't put out any roots.
I took some rooting piwder yesterday & put them in dirt hoping this will work.
If you want to wait I'll have all the seeds you want in a few months. I grow Scuppernong grapes. easy to grow from seed, about 3 years till fruit.
I would really appreciate any you may have!
Just remember my name and send me a d-mail to remind me in about 2 months. I keep some seeds any ways so even if you or I don't remember I'll have them into the fall.
